is it just me or was the paper smooth to write on? (1 Viewer)

[shikaree_bex]

I thought the paper in the booklets for the change exam was very smmoth to write on, in fact ,my pen just glided THEN in the paper two, the paper was like a different grade and i couldn't get the flow happening

anyone else think that papre makes a difference? what about pen prefernaces? hehe this is lame but i am genuinely interested...

 

[stressed02]

hahaah no i totally agree!! i loved the paper in AOS... but then Paper 2 wasn't so good - and D&T we got the crap paper that is like computer paper = pen not 'gliding' at all!

just keep that smooth stuff coming... haha

lol, I spent ages figuring out which pens I was going to take, cause after writing for an hour, my hand starts to hurt, and with a crap pen I cannot write at all.
As for the paper, I didn't really notice it, it just made heaps of noise when everyone was turning their pages.

Hey yeah I totally got the same thing with the paper
It was sweet in the AOS one and crap in the modules one
Very cranky bout that- i thought i had something to look forward to!!
HAHAHA

It felt alot like recycled paper! Like all sorts of paper mashed together into a booklet...

I thought that the paper was excellent. I love it and I think my pen does too. Unfortunately, I have done three exams and I am running out of ink. I used about 3 cm of ink in my pen in my Business Studies exam today!

 

[*cajunga*]

yeah - i totally agree!
damn slow recycled paper for modules - we'll all just blame that if we go shit, heh!
that paper in the change exam was so nice and smooth and cushy - they lulled us into a false sense of security and then slapped us in the face, the bastards!

 

[shikaree_bex]

mmm

yes, the paper is to balme always and only the paper

let's sue the paper makers

and pen makers, and anything makers just so we can get into frikken uni courses with high uai's.....

ah, excuse me, just lettin off some steam

I didn't notice a difference in the paper.. it felt the same to me..
I prefer to use felt tip pen, because that glides over ANY kind of paper--and surprisingly it didnt go through the page

 

[shikaree_bex]

this paper talk is getting tedious

But one more thing, yes i also like felt tip pens except my writing in exams is hard enough to read already and with felttip it justs like joins all the wrods together forming one big fat word, and i want the markers to be able to read my work...

 

[Mistress Lilith]

well, if they can't read it, then ... they should just try harder to make sense of it
i had to make sense of their stupid questions, the least they can do is read my answers properly

The 8 PAGE paper is shuper shmooth, the 4pagers like for DT are bastards cause the booklet is too thin so there isn't as much padding under then pen. I prefer a pen that some council driving instructor dude gave me at school... has nice grip on it and is pretty thick so your hand doesn't get sore from pinching a bloody stockers biro.

It's papermate pens all the way especially the medium point flexigrip ones!!

i'm also really pedantic about highlighters, they have to be the steadler topstar ones

its ridiculous i know!!

I totally agree- CRAP paper for the modules! I was just telling Mum now how it was recycled and stiff and distinctly "bumped" when I chanced upon this post. But as for pens - I find ball point is always best for exams with extended responses ie English, Economics, etc because for me felt tip always smudges. I like the smoothness of them though, so I used felt for Maths.

i found the paper excellent and it was a nice surprise, making me write faster. im just using bic biros and i found the paper so smooth, it was excellent, crap for maths though, i only like it for essays
